Prominence bubbles are cavities rising into quiescent prominences from below. The bubble-prominence interface is often the active location for the formation of plumes, which flow turbulently into quiescent prominences. Not only the origin…

Prominence bubbles, the dark arch-shaped "voids" below quiescent prominences, are generally believed to be caused by the interaction between the prominences and the slowly-emerging or quasi-stable underlying magnetic loops. However, this…

Observations of solar prominences reveal a complex, dynamic flow field within them. The flow field within quiescent prominences is characterized by long ``threads'' and dark ``bubbles'' that fall and rise (respectively) in a thin sheet. The…

The formation and evolution process and magnetic configuration of solar prominences remain unclear. In order to study the formation process of prominences, we examine continuous observations of a prominence in NOAA AR 10953 with the Solar…

We carried out 2.5-dimensional resistive MHD simulations to study the formation mechanism of molecular loops observed by Fukui et al. (2006) at Galactic central region. Since it is hard to form molecular loops by uplifting dense molecular…
